Restaurants, like so many other aspects of the city of Dublin, are given their particular character by the people who run them. Dublin restauranteurs will make a celebration of your arrival, yet seem so relaxed carrying out their work, you won’t be aware of their professionalism and efficiency. It is this, that gives Dublin restaurants their charm... and what a wealth there is to choose from!

If you want superb ethnic cuisine in atmospheric surroundings, Dublin will provide. There has been a notable surge in recent times in the number of European, Eastern and Far Eastern restaurants, French, Italian and Mediterranean fare, Scandinavian specialities, Russian, Indian, Japanese and Oriental dishes - the choice of cuisine from around the globe is endless. But don't forget about an all-important, world famous traditional Irish meal.

If, however, you want to eat well, but within a budget, Dublin will not let you down. There are plenty of cheaper, livelier restaurants to be found in which you can eat very and inexpensively. Dublin is famous for the quality of its many pub lunches, particularly good for those needing to fill up on a limited budget.
